Do we think the approaching storm can bring on labour?

[Frecklesandspecs]

Due in 2 days. zero signs of labour so I am counting on the approaching storm to help.

A drop in barometric pressure can bring on labour myth has it.
Labour wards fill up during storms?
True or wivez tale?

No idea but I hope it's true! I'm only 37 weeks but am desperate to have this baby now. DC1was born at 37 weeks so am crossing my fingers for the same this time.
Good luck!

God i hope not, I work in the maternity hospital and am working mon and tues night.

dita I would be interested to know if anything out of the ordinary happens!!

hopefully soon now bamboo but I'm before you remember !

Desperately hope so. 9 days overdue and climbing the walls!!

Oh no excited! you deserve to go first.....at the start of the storm to!!
I reckon ill go overdue too though now as I've had no signs in the last few days:-(

There were thunderstorms when Kate Middleton went into labour! Fingers crossed this storm gets things moving for you all.

I was born in a thunderstorm and electricity black outs.. :D

I just went for a short walk to the shops and feel terrible!! I could hardly walk back!! not kidding. the pressure down there is awful today! I feel sick too!!

good luck ladies!!

will let you know if anything unusual happens :)

I'm due today so I hope so!!!

Interesting subject. I'm 40+8 so I'm ready. I joked to my hubby that he'll prob come in the middle of the storm n the power will be out or something lol. And funnily enough I am very very tired today n bump is more painful, could be coincidence but we'll see. Ill post if anything pops out today lol ;)

well apparently the low pressure can make your waters pop so literally!!
please God let the lights stay on though!
I could not give birth n not have a cuppa after....and I want some gas and air;-)

Frecklesandspecs I'm with u, need a brew and the gas n air if I go tonight, my membranes are bulgin so hopefully it'll set me off ;) xx

Fingers crossed it does. I'm 40+4 today. Sigh.

lol princess. I agree the walking does sweet nothing!!

When I had DS in 2004 the weather was stormy and it was madness. I was admitted because my waters had broken but nothing was happening. Then, they couldn't keep trying the induction as there was no labour suite to put me in.

Good luck

Nothing here yet:-( ! rubbish storm!

No movement here either, 10 days over :( storm not as bad as thought in midlands, just windier and some rain. Anyone had any movement??

:-( I slept through it although was quite bad when I woke up.
Do you think you Will be induced Mrs? I'm due tomorrow and already depressed!

Well it worked for me!!!! My gorgeous girl arrived today just 1 day late. I'm certain it was the storm!!!

Lj Well done and huge congrats!!! I feel like crying when there are these announcements!! hope she gives you some rest and thankyou for confirming the theory!!!! (even though mine isn't here yet!!!) xx
